So I had a set back. I was cruising along doing great with not smoking. Then a whole bunch of little things started happening. Not big enough where alone it would cause me too much grief. But tons of little things piling up and I caved. I smoked. I've been smoking for almost a week. Work and medical testing and a puppy who is sick from getting into onions the old owners of the house planted and Migraines and 63 days of 90+ heat and I just had it. Other things here and there. But it was smoke or have a melt down. Just one little thing on top of the other while I am already stressed about surgery and insurance just set me over. I won't take the meds to stop because I have no idea what they might do with my ms meds or my insomnia or anxiety. Just don't want that.

*sigh* :-(

i too can relate :( my grandma only grandparent left just hard a heart attack and they dont know if she is strong enough to go through surgery to help her get better.

my 2 year old is driving me nuts! temporary separation from my husband. just started 2 online classes. work full time and financial issues are always a burden.

BUT we have the surgery to look forward to. we dont want to sabotage this amazing gift that weve all been working soo hard for!!

i got chantix a week ago and stopped taking it. i want to start again tomorrow because all in all smoking is so bad. i can barely walk up the stairs without being out of breath (and i work out 4 times a week).

its ok if you slip up its very hard to quit. almost depressing. but i have faith in you! and reading your post gives me more determination to not buy a pack on the way to work in the morning!!!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
